World of Warcraft Upgrades and Item Upgrading Upgrades increase the value of certain numeric stats on armor, weapons and rings. Upgrades can also boost bonuses like crit chance and PvE Damage. For instance, a weapon with the upgrade template that is ending in % will take on an attack damage of 3% each time it upgrades (relative to its previous value). Item upgrading costs crests and the current level of the item. The cost rises with item's level. Components Upgrade components are items that can be put into weapons, armor, and trinkets to give an additional stat boost or effect while they're in use. They can be obtained through making crafts, buying from vendors, trading with other players or looting. Some upgrades can also be accompanied by special cosmetic effects. Upgrade components are only available to devices that have slots. The item must be at least upgraded to blue before a component can be used. Unlike item upgrader , upgrade components can only be used once; they cannot be applied multiple times or replaced by new upgrades. Infusions and enrichments are a special kind of upgrade component that is that is used to upgrade non-amulet ascended or legendary equipment, as well as some of the items that are not ascending back. Infusions and enrichments can be retrieved by salvaging gear from the ascended, or by completing an elite mission in the Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall campaigns. An upgrade can include a suffix or prefix, modifying the name of the equipment to which it is used (for instancethe 'Canthan Armor Insignia' becomes Canthan Armor of Minor Vigor). Certain upgrades can increase the Mark Rarity or Level of an item, allowing players to create stronger versions using fewer Upgrade crystals than they need to reach the same level using normal methods. A 'boost' upgrade can change the attack or defense attributes of a weapon, or armor. These upgrades are available to be crafted from the Portative Forging Station once the player completes the cutscene and defeats the Crazed mechanic. They can be dropped by enemies while upgrading other gear or purchasing them from the cash store for 500 upgrade crystals each. Each upgrade increases the probability that a better-quality version of the item will be revealed at the next reset. This gives players a reason to upgrade their gear, even in the event that they don't know what can be improved upon the reset. The boost upgrade may be successful or not, the process could be expensive, and there is a substantial chance that the item could become obsolete or even break if it fails; a unsuccessful upgrade could destroy Upgrade Crystals and Assist Powder, as well as the upgraded item. This is mitigated by the availability of cash shop items that double or even eliminate the chance of failure, and some upgrades that provide a bonus when reinserted into an item. Glyphs Glyphs are upgrade elements that can be placed in special sockets on the Paragon Board. Glyphs increase the power of nodes within a radius, and include any pre-existing attaches. Glyphs can be upgraded in numerous ways. We recommend upgrading them as quickly as possible up to 15 levels. In the final game you'll find that the best way to improve your gear is to place Glyphs. upgrade item are the only upgrade component that can be upgraded to level 15 and give a significant boost to your power on the Paragon Board. The majority of upgrades in the game can be replaced however, Glyphs are only the one upgrade component that can be removed and replaced without restrictions. The only exception is legendary equipment that requires an Black Lion Salvage Kit to salvage and replace. Each Glyph has a specific range of values that it can improve a stat by, and the value is displayed when you select the Glyph in your inventory. You can replace it with another Glyph of the same rank or higher rank, which will boost the value of the glyph. There are Glyphs in the Black Lion Trading Post, as part of the Gem Store purchase or bundle with certain gathering tools that are unlimited-use as well as through Faction Crypt raids. Every Faction Crypt has the chance of dropping one of the various Glyphs as well as also a few rare glyphs that can be found in the form of drops from any of the four Faction Crypts. After you have acquired the desired Glyphs you'll require them to be placed on your gear. Each Glyph will unlock a unique bonus that boosts the stats of a specific set of nodes within a radius around the Glyph. Depending on the Glyph the bonus will be +40 to one of your primary stats, or +25 to two of your secondary stats. Glyphs boost all nodes connected to them, which is why it is best to place Glyphs in the most important locations on the Graph. This will maximize the impact. Druids, for instance should position their Glyphs close to their primary damage nodes. They might be able to place them near their primary damage nodes. Leveling The upgrade system of items allows players to increase the effectiveness of certain items by adding upgraded components. This is commonly known as “upping”. Each upgradeable item is assigned a level which determines the final statistics. Upgraded items can be leveled up to a maximum of ilvl 385. Each item level requires different components, and the cost of upgrading increase with each level. Some upgrades require an ingredient to be activated. This ingredient is obtained by completing Upgrade Recipes. These recipes can be purchased from NPCs or found on the upgrade tab in the crafting table. Each Upgrade Recipe that is completed earns several Technology Points. These points can be used to upgrade the item, and once enough are earned, the upgrade can be claimed and any additional bonuses will be added to the item. When the player improves an item it will be replaced by the new item. This means that the same piece of armor will be transformed into the form of a shield or weapon when upgraded. The new item also comes with its own bonus. This could be a drawback since the item may increase in price even if you don't require it. If the player has enough tokens they can reroll item upgrades . This causes the item to be exchanged for a new one, with an initial level and a different set of bonus bonuses. This is a good idea, but should not be repeated often since it can be a waste of resources. Certain upgrades can boost their value and allow players to modify their gear. One example is Dolphin's Gift, which gives a buff when the player repeatedly enters and leaves the water (or swims like a dolphin). This can be upgraded several times, each time increasing the maximum roll by 10 points. This item is very useful in PvP. A well-rolled version could be worth 50 times the value of its non-upgraded counterpart. Requirements The upgrader for items allows players to raise the level of their equipment (armor weapons, armor trinkets, and weapons) beyond ilvl385 by handing over the appropriate currency to the NPC. Upgrades to armor set pieces also increase the base defense of the piece, whereas upgrading weapons will increase the base damage as well as the required strength and dexterity to meet the upgraded equipment's requirements. Each item can be upgraded a maximum of five times, except for hero gear, which can have eight upgrades. Each time you upgrade a piece of equipment, it is at risk of failing. The rate of failure increases as you move beyond the maximum number. Failures will cause the item to revert to its initial state, requiring the player to pay more for materials than they would have to had they stopped upgrading at the highest number of upgrades. If an item fails to upgrade the amount of experience in its growth bar is reset to zero. The item will also lose any bonuses it has gained like the chance to crit attack damage, other effects (such as an increase in healing over time or reloading speed). However, the user can continue to use the weapon or armor following the failure. When an item is upgraded the upgrades are applied from lowest to the highest. This means that if a weapon increases its crit chance that it will be applied before any attack damage increases. Slots is a new attribute that was added to the definitions of items. The value is calculated each time an upgrade occurs. The amount of resources needed to upgrade an item is based on the rarity rating and the number of upgrade slots. The upgrade cost for non-premium items is the same as the base value of the upgrade. For instance, a standard equipment item could have five upgrades, each costing 25,600 Technology Points and a 4x Quality Improvement Chance. Hero grade items will have an incredibly lower cost for each additional upgrade. Premium items have different upgrade requirements in comparison to standard equipment. For instance, they may require fewer sowels, but more minerals and erons. The player will need to take every piece of gear they want to upgrade to NPC [ArmorBoboko. Boboko located in Central Flarine. In addition to the upgrade costs listed above, each upgrade requires the use of different ingredients for upgrading.
